M's 7 days trip to Kedarnath

1. One day as a stand by day is essential for Kedarnath leg of the journey as weather and terrain is very very unpredictable 2. Navicrow Holidays should have warned us of the hazards of helicopter travel in the Sirsi-Kedarnath leg, including distinct possibility of heli services being cancelled without alternative arrangements 3. Driver must be informed person. He should the right places to lunch along the 4 dham route. Otherwise, the Driver was a very good one. 1. Kalp kedar enroute to Gangotri dham 2. All 3 dhams visited were awesome 3. The road trips along the journey of 12 days were out of the world
